Great game with a great idea implemented really well and with replayability thanks to the gameplay!! Very good job doing it!!

Woah! I loved this! I didn't quite understand what to do when starting out, but I quickly got it. I'm a fairly trigger happy person, so I constantly made mistakes! I had a lot of fun and I appreciated the colors to differentiate which direction the ball was going!

creative take on the theme, well done

wow, can't say i expected a rhythm game from the description. this is a really fun and original idea, great game!

clean fun game. Especially thought the sound effects were good at conveying how well you were doing without needing to see it.

that was very addictive!

i love how you need to turn your head a bit to follow the balls, and the tension is really cool :)

maybe the only thing that i would love to have is some variety not to get used to the rhythm, maybe changing the colors and the aesthetics of the levels or some powerups. 

i had fun, great entry :)

Nice game ! I think left side hate me '^^ I give more point ti the right side xD Anyway, that's was fun. Good job

Very addicting! Great take on the swapping roles theme, nobody thinks of the scorekeeper. Got to 53 :)

That was pretty clever! If there was one thing I could critique, it would be that the difficulty takes a while to start scaling up over time, but it was fun to keep track of the increasing number of balls, and the visuals looked great!

Great game. The only point was that I couldn't read the red text due to not wanting to get distracted ;D

Best reversed Pong I've seen! So much fun! Almost like Pong meets rhythm game!

Man referees have it hard. 

Great game :)

Nice! It's like a rhytm game, but without any rhythm. :-)

I was wondering, is there some way to make up for mistakes? Maybe by getting a certain number of perfect pings in a row?

Developer

Took a lot of inspiration from rythm games, in fact I was hoping to implement more such as a beat and coordinating the balls movements so that they follow such beat, but I felt that would've massively increased the scope of the project

what a fun idea!!! I wasn't expecting such an approach to the subject, very well developed! It's also quite generic and doesn't lose the arcade genre at all, which is great :) good job!

Fantastic, explendid, i have no words of how much funny it was, I created a section at our discord in order to recomend games to the others members and this is the first post :)

Nice game! Would be great if there's more variation or random events to make the game more chaotic. Like a booster bubble that speed up the ball when a ball touch it. Or a portal that teleport the balls. Just some random thoughts ^_^

Developer

Noted indeed. There's definitelly plenty more that could be done, I just tried to keep it simple to cut on testing time.

Fun but challenging game with a good take on the theme! I like how at first it became more challening by gradually adding more balls, but then it switched to instead making the balls faster. It made the game more intense

Developer

Yep, up to 90 balls the difficulty scaling is hand picked to keep some variety, then things scale mostly linearly up to the 200th ball

Cool game.

Clever idea with a good level of challenge. Maybe you could add powerups to enhance gameplay. Had a lot of fun playing it, good job!

This game was surprisingly fun! Simple concept but quite engaging. The graphics and early, late, perfect scoring system were a great touch.
